Chapter 8
Bella's POV
We spent the morning watching TV and movies and by noon I wasn't feeling bad, but I wasn't good.
"Do you want something to drink Bella?" asked Kevin
I was about to shake my head when I felt thirsty. "Yeah, can I have some iced tea?"
He nodded and stood up going to prepare.
"What do you want for lunch?" asked Joe
"Chicken noodle soup" I replied
"Ok" he said
He got up and went to make it. Nick rubbed my back soothingly.
"I'm gonna take your temperature again" he informed
I nodded and he got the thermometer and put it in my ear. A few minutes later he took it out.
"102" he said, "Not bad, how do you feel?"
"I think my chills are gone," I said
He patted my shoulder. "That's a start"
"Food's here" announced Joe smiling holding a tray with a bowl of chicken noodle soup
I smiled as he set it down in front of me. Kevin entered not long after with a cup of iced tea.
"Yum" said Nick encouragingly
I smiled and picked up my spoon taking some bits and eating. I took a sip of my drink and felt peaceful.
"These are good" I complimented, then paused and sneezed
"Bless you," my brothers all said
"Thank you," I said continuing eating
When I finished a bowl I laid back on the couch. Pretty soon my eyes began to droop and I snoozed off.
Kevin's POV
We watched her sleep peacefully while we put the tray aside.
"She's so peaceful when she sleeps" I remarked
My brothers smiled and nodded.
"I took her temperature," reported Nick "it was 102, better than last time."
"That's good" said Joe "I'm not used to seeing her all weak and listless."
"Me too" I added "But hopefully soon she'll be back on her feet."
They nodded trying to think positive thoughts.
Then the doorbell rang. We thanked the Gods that Bella was a sound sleeper and went to answer the door.
Danielle, Nicole, and Selena were at the door smiling. "Hey"
We smiled "Hey"
We all shared a hug and a little kiss with our girlfriends.
"Where's Bella?" asked Selena
"She has a fever," I said, "Napping"
They looked pityingly.
"Come in" allowed Joe
They did and we led them to the family room.
"Is she gonna be okay?" asked Danielle taking a glimpse at her future sister in law
"Yeah, she'll be fine" Nick assured
Joe took a seat in the armchair. "We're hoping she'll get better by tomorrow."
Nicole sat on the arm of the armchair. "Then what?"
"No idea" I replied
Just then we heard someone stir. "Uh…"
We looked over and saw Bella weakly opening her eyes.
The girls immediately were at her side with us. "How're you feeling?" asked Nick
She looked and smiled when she saw Danielle, Nicole and Selena. "Well…"
Before she could finish her face looked like she was about to vomit. Danielle immediately got a trashcan and held it in front while Nicole and Selena pulled her hair out of her face.
Me, Nick and Joe patted her on the back comfortingly as she puked.
When she was done we kept patting her on the back.
"You'll be alright" soothed Joe
She nodded feebly and sat up sitting back on the couch.
We took care of her for the rest of the afternoon and she felt bad that we were wasting time on her instead of doing our own things, but we reassured her that it was all right.
Mom and dad came home at 6 and were immediately concerned when they saw the group of teenagers around the couch.
"Are you okay sweetie?" Mom asked Bella
She nodded confidently. "I'm fine mom"
"You all stayed with her for the whole day?" Dad asked
We nodded smiling. "Yeah"
"We did everything," reported Danielle
"Would you girls like to stay for dinner?" asked Mom
We all looked at each other then nodded. Our parents smiled and started cooking us food.
Then the TV turned on. We looked behind us and saw Bella smiling with the remote in hand.
I smiled, there's the strong, happy sister I know and love.
She flipped through the channels professionally. We looked and saw she stopped at an E! Interview.
"And you know all of the big megastars. Nicole Anderson, Selena Gomez, and the Jonas Brothers to name a few. Kevin Jonas recently added a new celeb since he popped the question to his girlfriend of two years Danielle Deleasa and all of the brothers have a new star of their own. You guessed it, their little sister Bella Jonas is just as well known as her brothers. Reports from a recent interview say that she's been diagnosed with leukemia at age 2 and is now fighting for survival. Here's what her brothers have to say."
"You know, it's hard to believe that she'll be gone soon" revealed Nick "She's been there for us through all of the hard times we had as kids."
"Right now we're doing everything we can to try and help" said Joe "And hopefully she'll get to live longer than the doctors say."
"Bella despite her condition is just a strong, determined teenage girl. She was recently revealed to be a fantastic singer no doubt inheriting that from her brothers."
"She's just amazing," reported Kevin "It won't be the same without her when that day comes. Her singing is unbelievable and inspirational."
"We always pray for a miracle" said Joe "but if a conflict happens we'll always let her have a special place in our hearts."
The session was over. The TV was turned off and we all looked back at Bella uncertainly. To everyone's relief she smiled with hints of gratitude, and happiness.
"Wow" she uttered
We smiled
"When did this happen?" she asked
"About a couple months ago" I said
"Cool" she said
"Dinner!" called Mom
We helped Bella get up much to her protestation and led her to the table.
"So how's everybody doing?" asked Dad
"Good" we all replied
Mom came out with a platter of chicken casserole and our mouths were immediately watering. She smiled and sat it down and we served ourselves.
Joe's POV
You can't get enough of Mom's chicken casserole. I think it served as an amazing recover system for Bella completely. I look at her and think it's safe to say she agrees too.
"So how are you guys doing?" asked Mom
Me and my brothers along with our girlfriends smiled knowing she was talking about them.
"Great" we said playing footsie with our respective matches unbeknownst to our parents
"Porn" Bella coughed
We, despite glaring at her laughed so hard.
"Bella" warned Dad being able to hear it
She smiled innocently "Sorry, but just to be safe."
And she lifted her legs up and wrapped her arms around them.
"I'm keeping my feet here" she finished
We blushed embarrassed.
"Aren't you approving of them?" asked Mom
She nodded with no hesitation. "Yes, but it'd be good to keep their affection G-rated while others are in the room."
"Aw, thanks" I said sarcastically
"Way to torture us" continued Nick with sarcasm
"A kiss is G-rated right?" asked Dad smiling
We smiled knowing he was helping us and looked at her.
She took a bite out of casserole and looked at us. "Depends on what kind of kiss."
Dad smiled and gave us the signal and Nick; Kevin and me shared a kiss with our respective girlfriends.
"May I be excused?" asked Bella sweetly getting up
"Where are you going?" asked Nicole
"I have to go barf" she replied simply
We chuckled as she went into the bathroom and pretended to gag. She came back smiling innocently and dinner rolled on. When it was over the girls had to go home so we all said our goodbyes and they left.
